CAD Drawing of rectangles: this new CAD command allow to draw a rectangle by specifying start point and direction; star point can be the center of the rectangle or one vertex; new points can be optionally created on the vertexes of the rectangle. This command is very useful to create quickly rectangular entities to use in stakeout operations. Command line: now, when the command bar appear and disappear, no regeneration of the drawing is executed with the result to have more speed during CAD operations. Exit: fixed a bug that didn t allow, in some special and remote cases, to close the graphic window.
